Lyrics

[Intro] Just leave me with the pride That I worked for Now they've taken the reason away Just leave me with the pride That I worked for Today [Verse 1] Build on rock, or build on sand They're never gonna lend a hand So nothing grows or nothing stands I can't take any more I can't take any more There's not a lot of space for me But I've still got my dignity I've got my price Don't say I'm free I can't take anymore I can't take anymore [Pre-Chorus] But I'm hungry I could eat anything But I'm hungry Ooh, let's dance, ooh, let's swing And all that I hear are the words that she sings Now they've taken it all Now they've taken it all [Chorus] Just leave me with the pride That I worked for Now they've taken the reason away Just leave me with the pride That I worked for Today Just leave me with the pride That I worked for Now they've taken the reason away Just leave me with the pride That I worked for Today [Verse 2] I'd rather take this cure for life Than make myself a sacrifice When living is to pay the price I can't take anymore I can't take anymore It takes a while to understand When your eyes are full of sand When only time is in your hands I can't take anymore I can't take anymore [Pre-Chorus] But I'm hungry I could eat anything But I'm hungry Ooh, let's dance, ooh, let's swing And all that I hear are the words that she sings Now they've taken it all Now they've taken it all [Chorus] Just leave me with the pride That I worked for Now they've taken the reason away Just leave me with the pride That I worked for Today Just leave me with the pride That I worked for Now they've taken the reason away Just leave me with the pride That I worked for Today [Instrumental] [Pre-Chorus] But I'm hungry I could eat anything But I'm hungry Ooh, let's dance, ooh, let's swing And all that I hear are the words that she sings Now they've taken it all Now they've taken it all [Chorus] Just leave me with the pride That I worked for Now they've taken the reason away Just leave me with the pride That I worked for Today Just leave me with the pride That I worked for Now they've taken the reason away Just leave me with the pride That I worked for Today [Outro] Just leave me with the pride With the pride (that I worked for today) Just leave me with the pride That I worked for Now they've taken the reason away Just leave me with the pride That I worked for Today Leave me with the pride Leave me with the pride With the pride That I worked for Today
